12-year anniversary.

Relief for Collingwood - Darcy Moore cleared of any hamstring damage after tightness during this morning's session. His calf the main reason he's missing Saturday night's Crows clash - eyes to a return after the bye. @7NewsMelbourne @7AFL

Collingwood captain Darcy Moore didn’t get through a fitness test on his calf - won’t play Saturday night against Adelaide. @7NewsMelbourne @7AFL

Early pre-season blow for North Melbourne - George Wardlaw leaving match sim early with a hamstring issue. The hope is that it’s at the minor end (as much as can be given his history). Set for scans - in doubt for round one. @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne

Pies medicos working overtime. Beau McCreery out for another 4-6 weeks with a recurring foot problem. Darcy Moore still at least another 3 weeks off with a calf. Hopes Dan McStay, Isaac Quaynor and Jeremy Howe will play pre-season v GWS. @7NewsMelbourne @7AFL

"We'll leave it in English before we both say something we're not quite sure about." 😂 @TheoDrop caught up with Sam Konstas following his 63-run innings 🇬🇷 #BBL15

As it stands (barring injury or complete change of heart), Marnus Labuschagne is set to open the batting with Usman Khawaja in the First Test in Perth. Green to stay at 3, Smith/Head 4-5, Webster 6. More shortly @7NewsMelbourne @7Cricket

Christian Petracca asked the Crows for an extra year on top of his current 4-year contract, at increased money across the entire deal, which forced the club to reconsider its trade position. He would have been 35 on expiry and one of Adelaide's highest paid players. @7AFL

Adelaide forward Josh Rachele will absolutely not be part of any deal involving Demons superstar Christian Petracca and a potential move to the Crows. The 22-year old is contracted until 2029 and is considered untouchable. @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne

McStay/Hill in VFL team for match-sim.

Early end to Brodie Mihocek’s evening at Pies training. Looked very uncomfortable at times. Jeremy Howe moving really well. Bobby Hill training with VFL squad. Dan McStay with AFL group. @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne

Scare for young gun Jordan Croft. After Bevo gave him a huge pump up in his presser and confirmed he’s in the 22 - he was taken into the rooms after an awkward landing with concern over his right shoulder - but has since returned. @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne

Funny scenes at Whitten Oval - Fremantle staff members booted out of Bulldogs training by assistant coach Daniel Pratt. One was former Tigers and Swans ruckman Sam Naismith - so, the least recognisable guy they could send… was Sandilands busy? 😂 @7NewsMelbourne @7AFL

Roos watch: Expecting North Melbourne midfielder Geordie Payne to make his AFL debut v GWS this weekend. Payne was the first pick of the 2024 mid-season draft. Nick Larkey ruled out for the year. @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne

After a super promising month, Ashton Moir is closing in on a new 2-year deal at Carlton 🔒 @7AFL

AFL MRO matrix starts this at a 2-week suspension, but it's impossible to imagine that's a severe enough penalty for an off the ball punch to an opponent's head. Has to go to straight to the tribunal. @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne

Laura Kane says umpires were not at fault during the Lachie Schultz concussion. "Our process in determining what happened Thursday night failed. Today we have determined there was a miscommunication from members of the umpiring department, not the field umpires." @7AFL

All four AFL umpires who oversaw the Lachie Schultz concussion incident have all been listed to officiate Round 10 matches. Simon Meredith Collingwood vs Adelaide. Craig Fleer Port vs Geelong. Martin Rodger Essendon v WB. Justin Power Syd v Carlton. @7AFL @7NewsMelbourne

Beveridge, Clarkson and Hardwick all calling for instant change to the AFL tribunal, hitting back at Laura Kane’s suggestion it will be addressed at the end of the season. Too late. Understandable, growing unrest and frustration from the game’s most experienced coaches @7AFL

@SACricketTeams Congratulations to everyone! Celebrate well 🏆🕷️

SOUTH AUSTRALIA ARE YOUR ONE-DAY CUP CHAMPIONS 🏆 !!!

Carlton’s Charlie Curnow has been cleared of any structural damage after scans on his right knee. Huge relief for the Blues and their superstar forward. @7afl @7NewsMelbourne
